[Mailman-Users] qmail and smtp to external host

[der.hans]

moin, moin,

I'm having trouble getting mailman to send messages to external hosts.
I've got qmail setup as the MTA. Non-list mail to and from the mailhost
works just fine. Incoming list mail from either remote or local hosts
works just fine. Outgoing list mail to the local host works fine. Outgoing
mail to an external host doesn't appear to leave any traces that it should
be ocurring, even though an external addy is subscribed. Also the sub
message didn't go to the external email addy and the external email addy
shows up both in the web page subbed list as well as in the list shown by
using the command line list_members utility. I don't see anything in the
syslog or mailman logs indicating that any attemp whatsoever was made to
send the mail to the external host.

Here's the syslog output from a piece of mail sent to the list:

If the mail had originated from an external addy, the results would've
been the same. I've got the list setup to only allow posts from subbed
email addies, so by being able to post from my external address I think
that shows the address is subbed to the mailing list, but the address
doesn't get any mail from the list. Both subbed addies, e.g. the local one
getting mail and the external one not getting mail, have the same user
options.

The questions are then:

How do I get mailman and qmail to work together to also be able to send
mail to remote hosts?

How do I trace mail through the mailman system ( aside from having to
learn python next weekend ;-)?

If I get an answer to the 2nd question, I can further investigate the
first one with that knowledge :).

ciao,
